I would like to welcome you all to the Chestnut Angus Annual Bull Sale. What an amazing time to be in the cattle business, as the cattle market has continued to remain strong! Thank you friends, current, past, and new customers for taking the time to look through this year’s offering. I certainly understand it gets said every year but I truly believe this is the best set of cattle we are offering for your consideration. This year our family was Very Blessed in August as we became grandparents, welcoming Wesly and Kayla’s daughter Jovi June Johnson to the family! She’s been our Biggest Blessing, and we are very fortunate to be able to spend a lot of time with her as a family! We are also excited to have Dawson’s girlfriend Maddy Miller a part of our operation as well! These wonderful additions are reminders of the importance of family, and by working together the sky is the limit on the goals we can achieve. Sherri and I are enjoying watching Wesly, Dawson and their families chase their goals and dreams, and choosing to work alongside us in the family operation, which has us excited for the great things to come in the future! We were overwhelmed with the response to the cattle at this year’s National Western Stock Show, and we sincerely appreciate all of the positive feedback and enjoyed being closer to the ‘Hill’ cattle, and not having to walk so far to showcase our bulls on the ‘Hill’ for the Bull Show. It certainly was a highlight to be awarded the first ever NWSS Grand Champion PGS Bull! We continue to strive to always be progressive, and produce the best product for our customers. I feel as though there are bulls and females in this offering for everybody. We focus on producing bulls that will add vigor and pounds to your calf crop, without sacrificing maternal traits including structural integrity and disposition. We also strive for added phenotype, so that you receive top dollar when selling your cattle, along with carcass merit to earn those premiums when sent to the rail. We are very proud that our Cow Herd has been able to generate the set of cattle we are offering this year. The set of females we are offering come from the heart of our program. I am confident they will go home and be nothing but profitable. We focus on several important genetic and physical characteristics in our cattle highlighted by foot and udder quality, along with docility, which has brought us to where we are today. If they don’t meet those requirements, they do not last long here. I believe it is important that in order to make our cattle better, and the industry better, these traits need to be very important regardless if you are a purebred, or commercial cattleman. I am confident this set of bulls will inject many of these important traits into your calf crop to take your operation to the next level. I would like to thank you all for your continued support and interest in our program. We are proud of this set of cattle, excited for their future, and excited as the next generation is hitting the ground now. I would like to thank my family for everything they do, to keep this operation running like a well-oiled machine. We all have different roles within this operation, and it takes all of us to make sure everything gets accomplished. As our family continues to grow, I am excited to see what the future holds for our entire family as it takes all of us working together to make this operation run! Thank you to my friends, customers, and all of the supporters of Chestnut Angus. We all know it takes a lot of people at different times of the year to make everything happen, and your help and continued support is greatly appreciated. Similar to last year, the cattle market has been as good as it has ever been! It is time to trade in those older herd bulls for a new and fresh set of genetics to add value to your operation. It will pay dividends and be very beneficial for many years to come! When you consider the value of Feeder Cattle in the marketplace being sold by the pound, the added value of a performance driven bull justifies the initial expense of that bull, and as a result add more pounds to your calf crop, which results in more dollars in your pocket. These young herd sires provide a tremendous return on investment in today’s cattle market which ultimately is the bottom line in the cattle business. We encourage anyone and everyone to stop by the farm anytime to check out this year’s offering. Please reach out with any questions you may have. Thank You again for your consideration, and we hope to see you on Sunday, February 22nd at the Farm in Pipestone, MN. ALL REGISTERED ANGUS BULLS HAVE BEEN GENOMIC TESTED THROUGH ANGUS GS, AS WELL AS PARENT VERIFIED AND TESTED FOR ALL NECESSARY GENETIC DEFECTS! Welcome TO THE ANNUAL CHESTNUT ANGUS PRODUCTION SALE
